The Miraculous Simone Gray

Hearing the three of them, Steven was bewildered. Why were all three of the brothers blaming their brother? “Don’t you think their actions were too intimate?”

Without hesitation, Andrew replied, “Not at all. Look at Aaron. He’s just consoling Jo. When Jo feels wronged, we comfort her like this too.”

Jodie was their sister, and this kind of intimate comfort only proved their close relationship. He really saw nothing wrong with it.

Steven had been busy with the group’s affairs for the past few years, spending only about three days a week at home on average. They only had dinner together, and each of them was working during the day. So, he didn’t really know how his sons and adopted daughter interacted.

Is this level of comfort necessary for comforting a sister? Am I just getting old?

He asked sternly, “Do you also hug and kiss Jo like this?”

Reuben and Titus realized their father’s expression wasn’t quite right.

They were about to deny it, but Andrew, wearing a self–assured expression, said, “Of course, what’s wrong with it?”

Reuben and Titus exchanged a look. Andrew was straightforward.

Seeing Andrew’s attitude and hearing his words, Steven was furious. He raised his hand again and smacked the table hard. “You’re siblings, for heaven’s sake! This is outrageous; you’ve gone too far!”

Andrew argued, thinking his father was overreacting. “It’s precisely because we’re siblings that this is a sign of a good relationship between us. Dad, can you please not overthink things?”

Steven was speechless. How can I not overthink it? The crucial point is that even if I don’t, others will! If people in our circle find out, I’ll be a laughingstock!

Narrowing his eyes, he asked, “Do you treat Simone, your real sister, the same way?”

Andrew shook his head. “How could we treat her like that? Our relationship with her isn’t that close. Besides, she would never initiate such intimate contact with us.”

Simone would normally be warm and considerate but never initiated intimate contact with them. She wasn’t like Jo, who relied on them.
